Coin ore

Coin ore generates underground in the Overworld. There are three tiers, each in stone and in deepslate:

• Copper coin ore: Y 0 to 96, 6 veins per chunk of up to 5 blocks. A block holds 1–3 copper coins, worth 1 each. Needs a stone pickaxe or better.
• Silver coin ore: Y −32 to 32, 3 veins per chunk of up to 4 blocks. A block holds 1–2 silver coins, worth 10 each. Needs an iron pickaxe or better.
• Gold coin ore: Y −64 to −16, 1 vein per chunk of up to 3 blocks. A block holds 1 gold coin, worth 100. Needs an iron pickaxe or better.

Mining it

Mine the ore yourself in survival or adventure and the value of its coins lands on your balance. Nothing drops.

Ore broken by an explosion or by a machine drops coin items. Picking a coin up deposits it. A server can make all ore drop coins with ore.directToBalance: false.

Silk Touch gives you the ore block, and the block pays whoever mines it later. Fortune does nothing: the loot table has no Fortune bonus, though a data pack can add one.

The ore carries the tag tradery:coin_ores and none of the common ore tags, so ore processing from other mods doesn't treat it as an ore.

What a server can limit

• ore.dailyCap: the most money one player gets from mining per UTC day. At the cap you see "Daily limit for coin ore reached". Coins dropped by explosions and machines aren't counted. Off by default.
• ore.inflationDamping: ore pays less while there's more money on the server than the target, down to a quarter of its value. Off by default.
• ore.enabled: false: no ore in newly generated chunks.

Ore only appears in chunks generated after the mod was installed.
